Detroit Tigers Team Notes Over 3 Million Views!!! Thankyou!

Ramon Santiago out indefinitely with right calf strain.

Boesch making improvement, not quite ready for game action.
Brennan Boesch is currently being looked at in trainer's room. He's done some activity "pain free" but his return is still unknown.

Rondon expected to pitch fifth inning today. Leyland is "anxious to see him throw," but he's not putting a lot of stock in the appearance.
Leyland said six relievers have essentially locked their spot in bullpen. Lobstein among handful of relievers competing for that last spot.

Tigers vs. blue jays;
You won't catch this game live on television (though you can watch a tape-delay at midnight on MLB Network).

Miguel Cabrera with a blast to left-center field. Landed on the concrete on top of the berm. Ties the score at 3-3.
After Toronto scores 3 off ex-Jay Shawn Hill in top 3rd, Miguel Cabrera ties it in bottom half with solo HR off top of LF berm.

Santiago sitting out with strained calf.
LAKELAND, Fla. -- While the Tigers debuted their expected Opening Day lineup on Saturday, they didn't have their primary utility infielder. Ramon Santiago is out with a strained right calf, and manager Jim Leyland said he isn't sure how much time he'll miss.

The injury is the second of the spring for the Tigers, who have had outfielder Brennan Boesch out of action for a week with a strained oblique muscle. This was expected to be -- and still could be -- a big Spring Training for Santiago, who came to camp in game shape after a strong winter campaign in his native Dominican Republic. He also came to camp slimmer after an offseason workout routine aimed towards more agility than strength.

The goal was the kind of head start Santiago didn't enjoy last year, when he struggled to a .206 batting average with two home runs and 17 RBIs in 259 plate appearances. In past years, when Santiago has come off a solid winter league season, he has enjoyed a strong start to the Major League schedule.

Leyland said he had been planning on starting Santiago on Sunday against the Phillies to give Jhonny Peralta a break. If Leyland decides to rest Peralta anyway, Danny Worth is expected to get the start.

As for Boesch, he has been making progress towards a return, though it seems unlikely he would move immediately to game action after not seeing live pitching at all during that portion of camp.
"He's done some activity pain-free," Leyland said. "Hopefully he'll be ready soon."
